Dutrow would have entries for that event.

Yeah, but they ran 4 mile heats back then

Pino taking any heat for the ride in the Belmont is crazy. What did he do wrong? He would have been wrong to wing out there with the 2 pacesetters. He would have been wrong to wait until Curlin and Street Sense rolled up to his hip. Any ride besides the ride he gave was wrong. What he did was ride a winning race on a horse who wasnt good enough to win.

It's calling " dancing with the girl that brought you there " and Pino's date was plenty pretty but just not pretty enough.

How often has Pino ridden at Belmont? Big Sandy is a course apart and out of towners can get fooled by the length of the turns into moving prematurely. Since Pino already has one possible misjudgment of this sort on this horse hanging over him, a switch to a jock with more experience on the course might have been seemed to be the one small edge that could put them in winner's circle. Hard Spun doesn't have his classic win yet.
